Not having anxiety. The numbers reports are trailing data, they’re measuring what happened a week or more ago.

Trying not to have anxiety about this but it’s hard. What if I get it. What if family gets it. Family’s already disabled. Job security. Everything..

No man...it’s a very serious situation but don’t please stress over something you have literally zero control over. Our stress should be allocated on something that matters and that we can control. Stay home and follow the experts’ advice is my 2 cents.
